Sci-Fi Short Film Archetype

If you’ve seen Transformers, or the new Planet of the Apes movie, you’ve seen the work of character designer Aaron Sims. Sims has recently self-funded the production of a breathtaking short film called Archetype. It follows RL7, a massive combat robot that is manifesting human memories, and others trying to solve the mystery as well. Sims directed the film with brings together David Anders from Heroes, and Robert Loy from CSI:NY. Sims is hoping to develop a full length feature of Archetype, and I know I’d watch the hell out of that!

Archetypes’s official synopsis:

RL7 is an eight-foot tall combat robot that goes on the run after malfunctioning with vivid memories of once being human. As its creators and the military close in, RL7 battles its way to uncovering the shocking truth behind its mysterious visions and past.
